Social media agency, fishbat, Inc., weighs in on the launch of RallyPoint, a military-only Social Media Networking Site.
On November 20, 2012, social media marketing agency fishbat, Inc., comments on an article published by Hispanic Business that discusses the launch of a military-only social media networking site.
According to Hispanic Business, RallyPoint, having fully launched on Veteran’s Day of this year, is a social networking site in the same vein as LinkedIn that can help military personal with their career advancement. RallyPoint is the brainchild of Yinon Weiss and Aaron Kletzing, who met as Army officers in Iraq.
The article reports that RallyPoint keeps its users restricted to members of the Army, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard and Navy by verifying military e-mail addresses when they sign up. In addition, the website allows members to network through areas of expertise and to track one another’s career progressions. It also includes a page called the “RallyPoint Universe”— which is a screen that links every unit in the U.S. Military. It allows members to see which units their contacts are associated with, as well as where they have served, reports the article.
Sida Li, Vice President of Internal Operations at social media agency, fishbat, Inc., commented on the launch of RallyPoint saying, “Communication has always been a necessity in the military.” He continued, “The launch of this site also has the potential of aiding those who are about to leave service or current veterans who may be struggling.”
